It just the initial loading of the page, once loaded the page works perfect.... on my home pc its fine, but here at work it takes about 10 seconds to open, so i posted a thread in a design forum i am a member of. several people tested and loading times varied from 5-12 seconds, so i reduced image sizes etc but still seems to be taking too long too load...

finally someone in that forum said :

This file is your biggest problem:

jquery-1.2.2.pack.js

Unlike image files, script files cannot be downloaded in parallel so the browser has to wait until the entire 26KB file downloads, then process it before it continues with the rest of the page.

To make matters even worse, the JavaScript file uses obfuscated code so the browser has to un-encrypt it before it can even process it!

jQuery is the JavaScript framework used by this script for some of its features. It's actually one of the most compact JS frameworks out there in terms of file size, so unless the surfer is still on a dialup, I really don't see how it could be much of an issue. It's obfuscated for compression reasons, and regardless, shouldn't create a bottleneck in its rendering either.
